Dancing towards better health for the elderly

Whether seen as a social activity, exercise or a “sport”, dancing has a compelling range of benefits for its participants of all ages.

Fitness / Cardiovascular – whether you are able to move your whole body or just your upper body, dancing will get your heart pumping & the calories burnt.

Balance & Strength – with the multi directional movements associated with it, dance has the ability to increase strength and enhance balance for participants of all ages.
Adaptability – dance can range from vigorous to gentle making it ideal for people of different ages, abilities & health status.
Cognition – there is a growing body of research to suggest that dancing has a beneficial effect on cognitive abilities. It provides a challenge / stimulation and demands planning & focus.
Emotional / Mood – anyone can dance, any time, anywhere, to any ability. It can be loud, it can be quiet, it can be joyful, it can be reflective. It can make you feel good & lift your mood.
Social – ballroom or belly dancing, across generations or with your own age group, in a town hall or private residence, dancing brings people together to smile, laugh, maybe giggle, share, have a chat & so much more. Dancing is always a great way to get the party started.
